Summer Saturdays in Virginia are filled with the smell of this chicken. It is the chicken that all the churches, boy scouts and other organizations fix for fund raisers. It is one of our favorite ways to grill chicken legs or halves. It works really well to grill the chicken and then eat later cold too. Great for a picnic!

SERVES 10 , 2 1/2 cups (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1 cup oil
1 1/4 cups vinegar
1 teaspoon black pepper
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon garlic salt
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 tablespoons poultry seasoning
chicken piece

Directions

1
Mix all ingredients, except chicken. (I've found a hand blender helps keep it from separating as much.)
2
Use a small amount to marinade about 5-10 chicken halves or 12-20 drumsticks for a couple hours or over night.
3
Grill over very medium coals until pieces test done, basting often.
4
It works best if you use a grilling pit and allow it to slow cook for a couple hours.

Thank you Marg for the top of the list go-to marinade - all with things always in the house. Used it on 12 thighs for the gas grill. Simply outstanding. Am going to give this whirl on some country style ribs & some catch-of-the-day bluefish or Spanish Mackerel here in the near future. Total treasure - can't be beat. Thank you again!

OMG This is one of those recipes I wish I could give more stars! Outstanding marinade for chicken. I was a bit nervous about the vinegar and the amount of poultry seasoning but the end result was perfect all the ingredients blend soo well together. Three days later my family is still talking about Virginia Chicken!

Yummy! I didn't marinade as long as I wanted to either. I used chicken breast (bone in), but next time I want to try the whole chicken. I think the darker meat will take to the marinade better. Thanks marg! This is definitely a keeper!
